It is a time of prayer dedicated to the worship service: pastors and preaching, music, prayer, offerings, the working of the Holy Spirit, and generally for the church. There will be an elder there to lead prayer and you are welcome and encouraged to join us. Please do not hesitate to come and join us as we place our service and church before the Lord and seek His presence and glory in worship! Pray for VBS: Our Shipwrecked (Rescued By Jesus) VBS starts this week, running from Monday to Thursday. Please pray for students to come to know Christ and be discipled. Ask God for grace in Bible teaching, student and leader relationships and programming. If you have prayer needs, please visit room 1 on the north side of the sanctuary after the morning service. Dick Brichta, after successful surgery to repair a broken hip last weekend, is now undergoing therapy and rehab at Lexington Health Care of Elmhurst.
